Plaza Moyua

The Plaza Moyua, also known as Plaza Eliptica, divides the Gran Via in half. It was re-opened in 1997, though the original dates back to the 1940's. Because of the metro building works, it was dismantled in 1990 to be restored and re-opened years later respecting its original design, which was based on the formalist style of French Gardens. The low boxed hedges and great variety of flowering plants are an outstanding feature. The gardens near the central fountain, alongside their neighbouring buildings - the mythical Hotel Carlton and the Civil Government headquarters, the Palacio de Chavarri - are also an attractive feature.

In the Plaza Moyua and its neighbouring streets, quality shopping, with important fashion names and aristocratic buildings alongside one another are a reflection of the great pride felt by Bilbaoans, who love excellence and their city.
